MST3k 319 - War of the Colossal Beast

[Mpshfromlowell64]

Frank and Trace have perfect comic timing.....

[LazyLizardGear]

Does anyone else wish you could retroactively update these with modern references?

In the scene with the comatose boy in the hospital I wanted Joel to pull out a lighter and go "Gojira...Gojira!!"

[LazyLizardGear]

What the hell @ the video description. A "direct to video sequel" that came out in 1958? That reminds me of the time Abraham Lincoln got Rick-Rolled.

[kff]

@LazyLizardGear Its just a show man. You should really just relax.

[SrJoben]

@kff For a fan of MST3k you're really bad at spotting jokes.

[kff]

@SrJoben I think you mean the other guy :(

[SrJoben]

@kff Which one are you, the one who made a joke about a man who died in 1865 getting rickrolled or the one who took it as serious criticism?

[kff]

@SrJoben Neither.....I was talking to the other guy who was serious about the description.

"It's a big turd with truck parts in it"

16:25 - Forget music! I wanna dance!!

[cavalierfan1995]

BONE API DIE

[cavalierfan1995]

we had a restaurant called poco loco

[SigEpBlue]

"Joel I'm scared" pretty much sums up Mr. B Natural. Or rather UN-natural.

1:16:08: "Remember these?"~Joyce

[games4356]

Yes, yes yes, he says get your elbow of my chest, What?

[SomeDumbKid1]

"Albert Glasser: The man who hold you down and pummels you with music."

[rojman123]

Mike and Joel in the same episode!

[Yapshire]

So, why did the guy's missing truck make national news? They must've really been hurting for news in the 50's.

[MrJohndoakes]

Some factoids:

KTLA is a real station in the LA area, established in 1947. Their transmitter was so powerful in the analog tv era, you could see the station in San Diego - 200 miles away!

That weird "all-one" chanting Joel does in the "Kitla" sketch is taken from the weird small print on Dr. Bronner's Soap packages.

[blkshepherd]

Man they Really Drank back in the 50s and 60s..did you see how much booze was behind her before she grabbed the phone alcoholic the whole cast. Would you like a drink?

[x2495iiii]

23:54

Why Mr. Servo, you seem to have a hand coming out of your hoverskirt. If this wasn't just a show, I'd feel compelled to question that.

[akitaman101]

"why a man would have to be 60 feet tall to make a track like that!"..."glen was 60 feet tall"...if that isnt the dumbest/funniest line in movie history, id like to know what is...

[pretorious700]

@akitaman101 you're right, the more i think about those 2 lines, the funnier it seems.

[KevinWR]

Why MISTER B. Natural? Why not MISS? Was this a Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan situation?

[SharkNinjaBlueStar]

That has got to be the worst humanization of music I have EVER seen...

[Memoria777]

Go to 26:30 for the movie :)

[drxcreatures]

Betty Luster <---Those unisex names are confusing.

[TomN2010]

Oh God it hurts

[TomAndrew9]

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the invention exchange in this one is hilarious. Does anyone know the episode where Dr. Forrester and Frank were in walk-around tanks (don't know what they were called)?

[analogkid01]

@TomAndrew9 - see Catalina Caper...if you can...

[avisupchurch]

wtf Mr. B Natural :-/

[Kooshmeister3]

As regards the description... how can this be a direct to video sequel if it's from before home video existed?

[analogkid01]

@Kooshmeister3 - just repeat to yourself it's just a show, I should really just relax. ;-)

[Kooshmeister3]

@analogkid01 But it wasn't direct to video, it was released in theaters. XD

Eh, whatever.

[pretorious700]

Buzz Beiderbecke?

[ertznay]

@pretorious700 Bix Beiderbecke. He was an amazing cornetist and trumpeter from the 20s. Miles Davis sites him as a major influence

[pretorious700]

@ertznay I know, it was a poor attempt at humor

[Capng123]

KTLA KNEW!!!

I think at this point we can all agree, there's absolutely nothing "natural" about Mr. B. He... she... IT... is some sort of dark entity that feeds on misery and travels around trying to convince people that their own worth can only be established through musical performance. CONN? Indeed my friends, indeed...

[pretorious700]

@Capng123 I think the whole thing was a Conn job

[SharkNinjaBlueStar]

@Capng123 Don't I know the feeling, sheesh....

[beinmytrailer]

the all night coke jags in cheap hotel rooms...

[pretorious700]

Servo lost the debate...empiricism always beats ad hominem

[MrAlcazar]

"He was calling out to his mother, her name was Aaaaaah!" lol

[tas12345678100]

hey leave my father out of this.

[josh885]

"Ya gotta inspect your horn boy!"  The best line in all MST3K

[pretorious700]

If you've ever spent time in Mexico, you can appreciate that it's "rich in culture", but for christ's sake don't drink the water.

[HolyHogShit]

hey Mr. B natural... why the lazy eye? a crack related stroke?

[RichterTheEternal]

Movies like this teach me that if your a 60 foot tall giant/monster/creature your instantly a master of stealth and can hide from the military and general public for days. Sheesh! I take it the directors of movies like this think the people who watch it are idiots.

[WATTSNATIONALIST]

smells like a monkey house in here!!!! totally retarded!!!! friction robots!!!!

[Kintoun2107]

The end of the first host segment makes me giggle so...

"oh you gotta try some of de rice krispies down by my belly button."

[WATTSNATIONALIST]

this is the best short mst3k ever found ! servo apologized for it....

[WATTSNATIONALIST]

bad touch ! this is the best short mst3k ever found !

[WATTSNATIONALIST]

where'd you come from? bellevue!!!!! LOL !!!!

[vampirehunter42]

So how may young boys when the rest of their school days waiting for a mysterious woman to just appear in their bedroom after watching this film?

The Criswell like skit was great.

[srmcd1]

Was Joel holding the script at 24:50?

[tagtigerarmy]

Mr. B Natural, def a girl. Wowie!

[akitaman101]

Gee, if I was bald and 60 feet tall, the chicks would be ALL OVER ME...sigh....I HATE being just 45 feet tall and having a full head of hair...hey! maybe if i get a cool eye deformity like Glenn, maybe THAT would help!...Seriously tho, when i saw this movie on TV when i was a kid, it scared me to death! That first time he appears, when he comes from behind the mountain, I STILL remember how scared I was! And the wierd roaring sound holds up pretty well after all these years. Great MST3K episode!

[THiNGYBOBinc]

22:48 Pod People?

[christimacc]

Mexican cop = corniest death ever.

[Kooshmeister3]

@christimacc I know, and he was my favorite character up to then.

[christimacc]

The short was positively creepy

[imcustomized]

@christimacc Are you an American? I'm curious because Americans seem to find ANY video, movie, or commercial in which children appear with adults to be "creepy." What is going on in that country???

[mcdrunkin]

@imcustomized here in the states they have done a really good job of convincing us that if someone's not an authority figure (cop fireman etc.) or the child's parent then they only want to rape or kill them. It's ridiculous most people would rather hurt themselves then a child (biological instinct to protect the species) but every man over 18 that doesn't have kids is just waiting to do something perverted to yoiurs don't leave them alone with them lol
